Samanther.
Would have nickname Sammy.

I think it would make a lovely change from all the popular names being used at the moment... I have a Samuel so might be a bit biased

LittleDoritt · 21/05/2021 21:55

Dear God, don't spell it like that!

Watermelon222 · 21/05/2021 21:57

Are you from Bristol?

@Beetlewing

I'm so so sorry but it's one of those names like Deborah/Debbie and Amanda/Mandy that are dated but not 'vintage' and sounds like a male transsexuals idea of a 'real lady' name
Hmm
NigellaSeed · 21/05/2021 21:59

Honest opinion, really bland name.

Lollypop4 · 21/05/2021 22:03

I'm not keen , I know so many but if you do choose it , it needs to be 'Samantha'

FindingMeno · 21/05/2021 22:08

Not keen and definitely even less keen on the unusual spelling.

ofwarren · 21/05/2021 22:12

If you mean Samantha I quite like it. Not the way you have spelt it though.

Chunkymenrock · 21/05/2021 22:14

Fake post I think?

stellarfox · 21/05/2021 22:23

I really don’t like it but I would at least use the more common spelling

headintheproverbial · 21/05/2021 22:28

This has got to be a wind up.

Samanther the Panther grrrr 🐯

@Watermelon222

Are you from Bristol?
I was going to ask the same question! 😂
DramaAlpaca · 22/05/2021 01:35

Yes to Samanther the Panther, I always say that in my head when I hear the name Samantha.

OP, Arthur is very popular these days, so to be nice and modern I reckon you should spell it Samanthur.

Theoldwoman · 22/05/2021 04:10

I love Samantha.

But that's where it ends. I don't care for Sam/Sammy.

I have 3 girls and Samantha was on the list each time. I never actually used it because I don't like the nicknames.

Nothing wrong with the name, but please spell it correctly or your child will have a lifetime of explaining.
